nice boat and great engine,, enjoy

Yes, it's a winding hole ok, I turn my 70 footer there ok and lots turn there to save going up the locks

Today, on the Worcester Birmingham canal, Ashwood locks open and 2 boats up

Can remamaber, a few years ago, this boat (Lyra) passing along Worcester Birmingham canal and getting to top lock, Ashwood flight, it was on it's way to Sual junction, never made it through the top lock, dispite BW staff spending 2 days trying. In the end the boat reversed back to John Pinders , and they used 2 cranes to lift it out, at the old salt works, and took it by road to Sual.it was just to wide to get in the lock, must be middle age spead..

We have a pull out bed under the front deck, storage under the bed, made the bed to pull out on it's own wooden legs, had a 4'-6" matress on it, works wonders, tucks away in the day time, and front ladders out througth the front doors in the day, bags of storage under....

I run a Gardner 3LW and it is straight through, sounds very nice and not very loud, run it for hours never seems to be a problem, and can talk on the back ok, even hear the birds.

go back to phil and ask him to make a steel slid hatch, that should upset him,, we had ours of steel,, we won, most have not.

can you guys help me, which washing machine is best for a nb boat, and type etc, have 3KV and good water supply, should it be just cold water supply or what, and where to go for it,,, many thanks guys....

yes, it's free bw key, but sometimes boats moored there

It's on the left side, towpath side before the bridge going south towards worcester, outside the craft shop.

good info there, but how much required for 70'

We used to wrap copper pipe around the exhaust of the air cooled listers for hot water years ago.
